Seller's Description:
Very good. Softcover, very good, light fading to covers. 23 pp. "...Shows how the 19th century idea of decadence, initially a form of anti-academic aesthetic revolt, has become an alternative worldview for the present post historical epic. Themes of psychosocial crisis, transformation and modernity in literature, music and film-from the surrealist to the blank generation via underground movies and alternative fiction are charted by discussing the work of cult names such as Yukio Mishima, David Bowie, Andy Warhol, the Velvet Underground, Lindsay Kemp, Kathy Acker, Gore Vidal, Hunter S Thompson, J. G. Ballard, Derek Jarman, Kenneth Anger, Samuel Beckett and William Burroughs."
